{PIN}spirational Challenge #342 OCTOBER Orange and Black

It’s time to get creative with our October challenge! 

This month’s inspiration is all about bold color, contrast, and a touch of drama. The striking combination of fiery oranges and deep blacks gives us so many possibilities to explore.

(found HERE at Pinterest)

Let the glowing orange, rich black, flowing shapes, and feather-like textures inspire your creativity. You could use the colors, the movement, the feathers, or simply the overall feeling of the image as your starting point.

We can’t wait to see where this inspiration takes you! Have fun creating!

Here are the projects we made.

June’s inspiration photo is a beautiful blend of ocean blues, turquoise, teal, and fresh greens. The overlapping translucent shapes create a stained-glass effect that is both calming and vibrant. Whether you're inspired by the color palette, the layered textures, the leaf-like forms, or the feeling of water and nature, we invite you to let this image spark your creativity.

Use any element of the photo as your starting point—perhaps the gorgeous jewel tones, a repeating pattern, organic shapes, or the sense of movement created by the layers.

{PIN}spirational Challenge #337 MAY Rainbow Colors

May’s challenge is all about color, creativity, and letting inspiration shine! This month, I chose a beautiful rainbow-inspired photo filled with vibrant hues to spark ideas and brighten your crafting table. Rainbows are such a wonderful symbol of hope, happiness, and fresh beginnings—perfect for welcoming the cheerful spirit of May.

This challenge is a great reminder to step outside our comfort zones and play with LOTS of COLOUR. Whether you use soft pastels or bold brights, let the rainbow guide your creativity and see where it takes you!

I can’t wait to see how everyone interprets this colorful inspiration—May is definitely looking bright!

{PIN}spirational Challenge #336 APRIL Pale Pink and Pale Blue

April’s inspiration is all about embracing the gentle beauty of spring with a delicate palette of pale pink and pale blue. These soft hues remind me of blooming blossoms, clear skies, and those peaceful moments when the seasons begin to change.

For this challenge, let these colors guide your creativity—whether you lean into florals, baby-themed designs, elegant CAS styles, or something completely unique. Just remember to blend both together for a harmonious, calming look.

Think soft layers, subtle textures, and light, airy embellishments. This is a perfect opportunity to play with pastels and create something that feels fresh, uplifting, and full of springtime charm.

We can’t wait to see how you interpret this beautiful color combination. Let your creativity bloom!

*BTW, this is the 14th anniversary for my blog!!! I can't believe I've been doing this challenge for this many years!!! Woohoo!!!
